The family (and me ~ aka taxi driver)!
recently had a week in deepest darkest Cornwall,
superb week sunshine every day...how lucky was that ?
well it is England...
We stopped in Perenporth, did the usual tourist stuff,
Lands End, St Micheals Mount, The Eden Project, Lizard point etc etc
One of the 'days out'...on route to one of the many 'sites' to be seen
and as i follow the road around the corner...what do i see....
Well naturally we (well me) just had to stop and make a closer inspection.
After about ten minutes stood in awe...the owner 'Barry' wanders out from his house,
any way over an hour later, and much discussion it turns out he has a MarkII spit
at Blackpool aerodrome as well...now that's just damn greedy me thinks...
with just a hint of admiration as well.
For interest ~ if you want the Mark IX for a small sum of £34,000 ~ it's yours!
guess you need a garden big enough as well though....!
For those who are interested ~ google 'spitfire corner' the details are all on the site.
Barry sells hand drawn pictures ~ i weakened and bought two ~
one of a Hurricane on final approach wheels down & one of four Lancs in formation...
Barry also has a large range of postcards of WW2 aircraft for sale...details on
Barry Wallond ~ www.wallond.com
Something slightly different but wonderful to see.
Enjoy...
